Haggeri

/HAG-ur-eye/

Summary

Haggeri was the father of Mibhar, one of David's mighty warriors, though some scholars believe the name is a corruption of "the Gadite."

☩Father of Mibhar

Haggeri appears in the list of David's mighty men as the father of Mibhar. However, the parallel passage in 2 Samuel 23:36 reads "Bani the Gadite" instead, leading some scholars like Kennicott to conclude that "Haggeri" is a textual corruption of "the Gadite." The name itself means "Hagarite" or "wanderer," suggesting possible descent from Hagar's line.
